A mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm was detected on computed tomographic angiography of two male patients who were followed up after reporting symptoms of abdominal pain, malaise and fever of unknown origin. One of the patients' aneurysm was repaired with a tubular graft and the other patient had endovascular aneurysm repair due to his high co-morbidity. From pre-operative cultures and a pathological examination of the surgical specimens, it was observed that the aneurysms had developed in the abdominal aorta due to Salmonella enterica, and broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy was started. We present these two cases of mycotic aneurysm due to Salmonella. The patients were discharged after the postoperative course of antibiotic treatments were completed.
两名男性患者因腹痛、不适和不明原因发热等症状就诊后，在计算机断层血管造影检查中发现真菌性腹主动脉瘤。其中一名患者的动脉瘤采用管状移植物修复，另一名患者由于合并症较高，进行了血管内动脉瘤修复。术前培养和手术标本的病理学检查观察到，由于沙门氏菌，腹主动脉中出现了动脉瘤，并开始使用广谱抗生素治疗。我们报告了这两例由沙门氏菌引起的感染性动脉瘤。患者在完成抗生素治疗的术后疗程后出院。
